With Walker Kessler hurt for most of last season, Nurkic filled in as Utah’s starting center and filled up the stat sheet, averaging 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists. He was one of just three players to average that many points, rebounds and assists last season (minimum 20 games played), joining Nikola Jokic and Jalen Johnson.

A 12-year veteran, Nurkic has played for five teams over his career but is most known for his time paired with Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum in Portland.
